The Samsung Galaxy S family continues to grow, with today's addition of the Galaxy S Relay 4G to T-Mobile's lineup.

The Relay 4G, which runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and features a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, will hit retail and Web stores in the coming weeks.

The new phone sports a full QWERTY keyboard, as well as a 1.5-GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor. Additionally, the phone comes with Wi-Fi calling and Mobile HotSpot support for up to five devices.

"Consumers are increasingly looking for a powerful device that makes it easy to integrate their busy work and personal lives," Andrew Morrison, vice president of product management for T-Mobile USA, said in a statement.

The relay provides access to T-Mobile TV, Samsung Media Hub, and Google Play Music, for watching live TV, renting and buying movies, and streaming or purchasing music.

"The Galaxy S Relay 4G is the perfect addition to T-Mobile's popular Galaxy smartphone lineup, providing our customers with a reliable and business-centric Android experience  and the easy access to entertainment for which Galaxy devices are known," Morrison said.

Also built into the Relay are a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.3-megapixel front-facing one, as well as a 720p HD camcorder.

The Relay comes with enterprise-ready features, including on-device AES-256 bit encryption, enhanced support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, and integrated support for a range of virtual private network solutions, according to T-Mobile.

Earlier this week, Verizon Wireless announced that it will start selling the Samsung Galaxy Stellar on Sept. 6. On Tuesday, data from Canaccord Genuity revealed that Samsung's Galaxy S III overtook the iPhone 4S in August  unsurprising numbers, since most Apple fans are likely waiting for this month's launch of the next-generation iPhone.
